Tyler Farrar did a great sprint today to take out the first stage of the Eneco Tour and propelled himself into the overall lead. Video is here (click on the top, right video in the sidebar on the right).

Boonen was second. He started from way too far back and then had to go out and around the rider in front of him. Farrar was 2nd or 3rd wheel when things got going and nobody ever got close. Koldo Fernandez from Euskatel in a fab display of head-down sprinting seemed to cause a massive pile up near the front of the sprinting bunch. The video link above shows a good shot of a Bbox Time bike broken clean in half and the head-tube.
